About SUIT

The project is a charity based organisation that is run and host by the Wolverhampton Voluntary Sector Council (WVSC). This puts us in a position whereby we can be completely independent to drug treatment providers, but close enough to be able to influence and impact on the way that drug treatment is delivered in our city.

SUIT have been running now for over three years, and since our humble beginnings in a corner of the WVSC building with only 2 staff members one volunteer, to 3 staff and 10 volunteers with a vast array of work that not only shows off recovering drug users talents, but also helps to educate many people and organisations about some of the dangers of substance misuse and the difficulties that people face in overcoming them.

We are commissioned to take on volunteers who are currently receiving drug treatment, who have received drug treatment in the last 6 months, or those who are looking to access treatment – all this within the realms of Wolverhampton.

We primarily work with those individuals who use/d Heroin or Crack Cocaine, however due the ever changing face of addiction we do have some flexibility with this, and we never refuse to offer help and advice to anyone who need help.

The team consists of a full time drug service user involvement officer, a part time administrator, a part time project worker and 10 volunteers. All of whom bar one, have suffered from addiction.

The team work on a number of tasks and activities at any given time. The types of work (of which many can be found on this site), shows the dynamic approach our unique organisation has towards substance misuse and recovery.
